Marine Demolition

Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Silverado has performed numerous projects over water. Our Port of Oakland marine demolition experience includes the removal of the 1,000 foot concrete wharf at Berth 22, the removal of the 300 foot long wooden FDR Pier at Jack London Square, and the retrofit of Berth 32/33, a 1,500 foot long concrete pier.

Berth 22 Replacement, Port of Oakland

Working for Manson Construction, Silverado demolished Berth 22 at the Port of Oakland to make way for a berth with a deeper draft. Demolition of the berth consisted of the removal of a 100,000 square feet concrete wharf, and processing over 2,500 piles. The concrete was then crushed on site yielding 36,000 tons of Class-2 recycled base rock. Silverado Contractors then performed the mass excavation of 20,000 cubic yards of soil for the construction of the new wharf.

FDR Pier

Silverado successfully performed the removal of the dilapidated and condemned FDR Pier at the Port of Oakland. The failing 300 foot long structure was adjacent to a heavily traveled walkway to the Oakland ferry departure point.

Berth 32/33 Wharf Rehabilitation, Port of Oakland

Silverado removed 1,500 lineal feet of concrete crane rail at the face of the Berth 32/33 wharf. Additionally, Silverado demolished the former Long Shoreman's building and performed land side demolition for the installation of the new rear crane rail. Over 1,000 feet of the old crane rails were removed.
